basically...a sad day

packing EVERYTHING away

So, for those of you who don't follow my sister's blog, you wouldn't know that she is moving...this weekend. When I first heard the news earlier this summer, I was really excited and proud of her. She is getting out there and starting her life. Plus, with her gone, I would get me own room! (a brand new experience for me) But, as the summer goes on, and we get closer and closer to D-day, I become more and more depressed. I'm gonna have one of the bigger rooms in my house all alone, which isn't as much fun as it sounds. I'm not going to have access to all of her fab clothes (and vice versa) And, the honest to God most tear-jerking conclusion, I am losing my big sister. True, she is just a phone call away, and with all this modern technology, skype dates have already been set. She has even offered to let me move in when I decide I want to go to school out there. But I am a big family person, and I have a tiny identity issue. All my life I have done what Taurie and Dane did. Dane did track and soccer, a year later, so did I. Taurie cheered and always strived to be at the top of her class, and I followed suit. So, one may understand why losing a huge role-model can be so traumatizing.

In other news, I have been invited to ride out with her, and Roger and Mom, to Massachusetts to help get her settled in (and I may be checking out my future room...) I really detest long car rides, but I'm willing to battle my chronic car-sickness to help Taur move in. But when all of her boxes and totes and wardrobes and baskets leave our living room, it is gonna basically be a real sad day in our household. I will try to keep it together, but no promises for Taurie when she gets around to reading my blog....


new home for the clothes

basically, an apology

I must apologize to my followers. I haven't been keeping up with my blog posts as I should have and I am sincerely sorry. So, as you must be dying to know what has been going on in my life since you last read, it is as follows:


  • I participated in FAIR WEEK
  • I am almost done with summer classes
  • Soccer practice began
  • My boyfriend left for college
  • and....I GOT A NEW LAPTOP!!!!
I will start with the one that interests me the most; my laptop. Can I just say how amazing this thing is? Yes, it does come with only windows 8, but I have a hard time hating that when it has a TOUCH SCREEN! It is called the lenozo ideapad. Go ahead and google it. I'll wait.......for those of you returning....RIGHT????? It is amazing. If you want an awesome laptop, I def recommend this one.

Enough with the salesperson shit (Best Buy should hire me for this), my next topic should be fair week. Who doesn't love getting up at 5 everyone to go feed, bed, wash, and milk cows at the fair? And then spend the rest of the day there. Oh? You mean not everybody lives like that? I knew  mamma was lying to me! Oh well, it is only for one week out of the year. And I had to work so the responsibilities where thrown on my brother and younger sister.

Summer classes. Woo. *note that there is absolutely no excitement in this topic. The only thing worth celebrating is the fact that I just finished my final and I am thrilled. I hated the class, the people, and the teacher, end of story. Why didn't anyone tell me college was gonna be like this???


Does this look fun to you???

My boyfriend leaving for college isn't as upsetting as you may think it is. I still get to go out and see him and it's our second year doing this anyway, so I'm not overly worried. His plan is to be a vet. Fingers crossed that he will make a lot of money one day and I can just be a trophy wife.

Lastly, soccer. My legs are killing me. I literally can't walk from one end of the room to the other without limping halfway through. On the bright side, I'm pretty sure I am getting a starting spot which has me super excited. And the girls on the team are amazing (17 girls all together every morning at 7 and no fight has broke out yet. Who knew?) I'll have to keep you posted on how I am doing because I feel I have a right to brag about my superior soccer skills. That's a lie, I only have my speed to help me out here. So, ya. That's basically an apology and my life story all rolled into one. :)
